KEY FEATURES: 3D NAND flash are applied to deliver high transfer speeds. Remarkable transfer speeds that enable faster bootup and improved overall system performance. The advanced SLC Cache Technology allows performance boost and longer lifespan. 7mm slim design suitable for Ultrabooks and Ultra-slim notebooks Supports TRIM command, Garbage Collection technology, RAID, and ECC (Error Checking & Correction) to provide the optimized performance and enhanced reliability. Silicon Power Ace A55 M.2 2280 256GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal SSD Huge performance in a tiny form factor Breathe new life into your everyday computing with blazing-fast read/write speed with the Silicon Power M55 SSD. The M.2 2280 form factor is ideal for Ultrabook and the latest generation of motherboards. The SLC Cache technology helps accelerate write performance. And the ECC (Error Checking & Correcting) technology ensures data integrity. Other sophisticated technologies include NCQ, Wear Leveling, bad block management and TRIM support. All these add up to an SSD that's stable, reliable, and consistently fast. It can last multiple upgrades of your desktop/laptop computer. Ultra-Compact for Up-to-Date Devices Designed with M.2 2280 form factor (80 × 22 x 3.5 mm), the compact-sized and case-less A55 M.2 2280 SSD perfectly fits into tiny-and-thin devices such as ultrabooks, tablet computers and mini PCs. Enhanced Performance for Intensive Workloads Equipped with high-quality synchronous NAND flash chips and SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, the A55 M.2 2280 offers impressive transfer rates of up to 560/530 MB/sec read/write. So if you need an instant upgrade solution for everyday computing applications or multitasking demands, the A55 is your perfect choice. Its intelligent SLC cache technology can boost writing performance to even higher peaks - for transfer rates at lightning speed! Intel SRT Supported for Flexible Configuration Not only fast, also smart! Intel Smart Response Technology (ISRT) enables flexible computer configuration for improved overall performance and efficiency. It automatically identifies and stores your most frequently used applications to the SSD, while leaving your hard drive full of storage capacity. Ah! So you can combine a small-capacity SSD with a high-capacity HDD and enjoy an upgrade solution that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. (Mind you, you still need them, especially your arm for operating your upgraded, super-fast computer....)
